“Whenever I felt like needed money I would take it … maybe take $200 up to $1,000,” Rodriguez reportedly said, explaining that she used the money for shopping sprees and trips. “It wasn’t,” she noted, “a daily thing.”

Today the 28-year-old pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $75,000 between 2008 and 2010, the newspaper article says. She could get up to five years and be fined up to $25,000 when she is sentenced later this year.

Her lawyer declined to comment, and the Bruck firm didn’t respond to the newspaper’s request for comment.

Questions were raised, the article says, when an audit revealed discrepancies between the ledger accounts and bank records.
